A remarkable work of beauty, literary finesse, theological insight, and rich wisdom. I will keep thinking about this book for a long time to come. --Charles A. Gillespie, Sacred Heart University This is an unusual book, both in its blend of passion and elegance in presentation, and in its rigorous attention to the way in which the biblical text insists upon the fact that we cannot read intelligently without changing our entire imaginative and moral world. At once severe and enriching, it opens up a style of approaching the Bible that is both deep-rooted in traditional practice and exhilaratingly fresh. A wonderful and welcome meditation. --Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury
